Moving to house that needs updating.

10 years ago

last modified: 10 years ago

My husband and I are both retired and moving to southern California to be closer to our sons. The house we are purchasing needs major updating in order to make it more functional and attractive. We hope to remodel it to make it more aesthetically pleasing and more functional as an "age in place" home.
